Hi Jim. You letter i received. Thanks! Photos is GREAT!!!!

Hi Jim. You letter i received. Thanks! Photos is GREAT!!!!

OK, this is weird... I just posted a comment (for the first time) on your blog, then poked around and found this post. I know Deb Talan! Her sister Susa is one of my oldest friends. Two degrees of separation... Please tell Deb Jena says hello!

Oh, the cuteness. The lovelyness, the soulfulness.

i spent a good portion of my sunday dinner singing deb talen's praises. i would love to draw her and steve some day but they never return my calls. (hint hint!)

How do you know all these famous people? It's the Boston music scene, clearly, right? Did you go to school all together or what?

Just curious how that happens...

are you kidding? i love the weepies! i listen to them everyday -- my four year old knows the words to citywide rodeo, stars, etc! go ben, go ben...

that photo is great!

and can i just say that i had the pleasure of hearing deb play about a month or two ago and it was such a gift...

ok i have see quite a few new born babies in the last 3 months and i am delurking to say that Ben is by far the cutest baby i have seen.
he really does have that overwhelming cuteness about him. he has a beautiful smile and thoughtful eyes.
Congratulations!

K I am kind of delurking here because I can't believe you KNOW Deb Talan! I LOVE her, she used to be in a band called Hummingfish out of Portland, OR and I still listen to their CD Love Traktor all the time. I went to Whitman in Walla Walla and they used to play there like twice a year and their shows were THE BOMB. So...I love Superhero, I love Deb Talan and now little Ben and Deb are in a photo together and I'm over the moon. GO YOU! GO DEB! But I didn't know about the Weepies so I'm off to score myself a CD.

In other news, the cuteness of wee Ben is acute, ever-jaw-dropping, and I am so grateful you are sharing his extreme adorableness with us over the Internets. Sending your family mad hot beams of totally platonic LOVE energy.

well, we know deb will be able to sing a pretty mean lullaby, so i think she's the dream babysitter!

So precious! What strikes me every time I see your little one is how much a PERSON he already is. The look in his eyes is so alert and aware and sweet. You are a lucky woman!

Of course Ben is adorable and scrumptious...but I also want to say THANK YOU for introducing me to the Weepies! I am in love with their music and I am rushing out to buy the CD! I love it, love it, love it! Just my style!!!!
Amy - see you in anger management class on Thursday. Just joking with you :)~

Amy, is that kind of comment really necessary? I agree with your sentiment but find your choice of words violent, disturbing and quite inappropriate.

Wow Andrea, that is one beautiful child you made! Really, really beautiful :)

absolutely adorable.

I wanna meet Deb! She's my fave...

Both of them are so cute! I just want to beat them senseless and puch their faces so they'll stop being so damn adorable!

ok, the child is like 2 months old and he's already met one of my heroes? fantastic.

Many moons ago I stumbled onto your blog and I've been hooked ever since. I always look forward to seeing your photos and reading your thoughtful text.

The Weepies + Ben = fabulous post

Hi, I have no idea who you are and I just happened upon this site...don't even remember how...but I just wanted to let you know that you have one of most beautiful babies I've ever seen! Enjoy him :-)

I would give anything to be as photogenic as your little one. Does it just run in the family??

Aww...
adorable Ben.

And I have been digging "Say I am you".
Tell Deb that.

Love!

I have to say that Ben is edible! Precious and lovely in his first few months of life. I remember suggesting to you that we all think happy baby thoughts for you and Matt over a year ago...and I remember feeling that the baby was on the way and it just makes me so happy to see his shining face smiling back at me....I had to share!
xo, Amy

ben totally has an old soul look in his eyes in this picture! and deb looks like blissed out teenager. they must be meant for each other. :)

:) Ben is such a little cutie.

Yep, I just love coming here to bask in the joy these days. Ben is so charming and I love that Deb is there too. I love The Weepies too! xoxox

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooooooooooooooo look at the delight in Ben's eyes looking up at his mommy. So sweet.

I love your website I am such a big fan!!! I enjoy the daily blogs,great recommendations on music,books places to shop and now baby files. Seeing the pictures of Ben make me smile daily he is wonderful. much bliss to you and Matt ;-)

It just doesn't get any cuter than your wee man!

look at that little man!!! I just want to eat him up!!

OMG...Deb Talan is a friend of yours. Ok, diggin a big time stretch of six degree of separation here, lol. LOVE the Weepies! In fact I think I found out about them from, well, YOU! No, maybe it was Ali Edwards...who found them from you. It probably all comes back to your blog, lol.

If she writes Ben a lullaby or something I'm just gonna have to lie to people and tell them I know you, ok! lol

I swear he looks like a little person with that FACE of his...oh, what a face!

Ok, I've thought Ben was adorable since the first photo you posted, but this photo KILLS me. I love it!

Have just spent my lunch hour trawling through your archives & wanted to let you know how you've warmed my heart...so thankyou!

I really love The Weepies newest album.
How fun to be hanging out with rock-stars :).

This makes me so sad that they have no tour dates here, but excited for the (eventual) new album! So nice that she got to meet Ben!

you make me giggle.
a lot.

xoxo

i totally love how comfy Ben is in front of the lens. this is so fricken cute of him and Deb.

thank you for your yummy message. i promise to call you over the next few days. life has been a steady stream of craziness...but i am finally settling down. lots to share and i want to hear all about YOU.

miss you. love you (and Ben too).

I do love The Weepies.:)

I have Deb Talan and The Weepies in heavy rotation these days -- that music just makes me feel good. Apparently Ben likes them as much as I do! As always, adorable photo, Andrea.

love it - sooo cute!

xo

What a couple of lovey doveys - looks like they've both got a new life long friend.

By the way, I'm interested in knowing what kind of wipe warmer you've got - my brother and his wife are pregnant and I'm interested in getting one for them (in addition to something from their baby registry that they actually asked for of course - I figure if I give them something they want they won't mind to much that they're getting something I want...).

I love that the Weepies were his first introduction to music! He is so cute!

Oooo, lots of love for both Weepies and Ben!

Obviously, he has a way with the lai-dees....you may as well get him his own myspace page now. :)

Your son is absolutely lovely.
I discovered your site (via mighty girl) a few months ago and really enjoy it. when i'm having downtime or whatnot, i read some of your archives. i used your "i believe" post from your birthday and 'everyone's connected' post about the post office as a jumping-off point for a small group discussion i led, and passed it on to my yoga instructor, too. wanted to know, are you going to do another valentines love/crush story contest for Valentine's day this year?

this photo is SO precious. i heart deb! and ben!

baah haa haa!
i think i reviewed her brother's music? at discoveringartists.com. love the weepies.
